INTRODUCTION
GTX BEAM TECHNICAL DATA
The GTX beam is a structural laminated veneer timber beam
for use as a primary or secondary bearer in a wide range of
formwork and shoring applications. The GTX beam is
manufactured using 3mm Radiata Pine veneer, individually
graded for stiffness, arranged in a predetermined pattern and
phenolically bonded for consistent and predictable engineered
performance.

ACCESSORIES
A range of accessories to complement the GTX beam is also available, including clamps for fixing stop ends, external corners of
wall shutters and handrail attachments for soffit applications.
